Also snarling and frothing is the goblin, who swings his axe in a wide arc at Feyr. However, his attack barely has time to land before there is a brilliant flash of light and he is once again thrown back several paces.

The goblin is enraged, and therefore can only attack the nearest enemy, which in this case is Feyr. He hits AC 18 for 10 damage. 10? On 2d10+5? Man, I'm glad my characters don't roll like my monsters. Oh, and this triggers Armor of Wrath, so he takes 3 radiant damage and is pushed to E20.

Growl returns to his warforged form, stinging fro mteh open wound, as he steps back from the hounds, then buffets them with a chill wind. One is unfazed, but the other is knocked between the construct and the paladin. His wounds continue to plague him.

Mechanics

Minor action - Return to warforged form, shifting to J17 in the process.

Adran expertly snakes his sword past the hound's guard. He is rewarded with a precise blow that hamstrings the hound and cripples its defenses.

Motes of dark energy flutter around Alek's fingertips as he gathers his power. The resulting sphere streams out and collides with its target, blasting most of the creature's flesh off its bones. The remaining mess simply falls apart.The remaining hound frantically bites at Adran's legs. Again, the result is little more than a scratch, but that is all it takes to spread the contagion once more.
